  Hoarseness or voice changes. […] In most cases, laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers are found because of the symptoms they cause. […] Laryngeal cancers that form on the vocal cords (glottis) often cause hoarseness or a change in the voice. This might lead to them being found at a very early stage. If you have voice changes (like hoarseness) that do not improve within 2 weeks see your health care provider right away. Pain and trouble breathing or swallowing might be symptoms of more advanced laryngeal cancer. […] For cancers that dont start on the vocal cords, hoarseness occurs only after these cancers reach a later stage or have spread to the vocal cords. These cancers are sometimes not found until they have spread to the lymph nodes and you notice a growing mass in your neck. […] Signs and symptoms of these cancers may include: A sore throat that does not go away, Pain when swallowing, Trouble swallowing, Ear pain, Trouble breathing, Weight loss, A lump or mass in the neck (because the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes). […] Many of these symptoms are more likely to be caused by conditions other than laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. Still, if you have any of these symptoms, it is very important to have them checked by a doctor so that the cause can be found and treated, if needed.

  What are the symptoms of advanced laryngeal cancer? Laryngeal cancer can become symptomatic (evident to the patient or the physician) in different ways, often depending on the exact location of the tumor within the larynx. […] Symptoms Depend on Location of Tumor […] Patients with supraglottic tumors complain of: trouble swallowing (dysphagia), pain in the ear on the side of the tumor (otalgia), trouble breathing (dyspnea), noisy breathing (stridor), or, later in the disease, voice changes or a lump (mass) in the neck. […] Tumors on the vocal folds usually present earlier than supraglottic or subglottic tumors. The usual symptom is a prolonged voice change, such as hoarseness, lasting for more than one to two months. […] In advanced laryngeal cancer involving the vocal folds, the voice may be breathy due to impaired movement or complete paralysis of one of the vocal folds.
